Valuation in Neighboring States. 

 It is desirable, from nil points of view, that the schedules of val- 

 uation throughout a district in which similar market conditions 

 prevail, should differ as little as possible. It has been our practice 

 in the past, to conform our schedule to that adopted after very 

 careful co-operative study of market conditions for each year, by 

 the New England States and New Jersey, except where the peculiar 

 conditions of our markets have made the valuations diverge too 

 largely from the actual selling prices, as in the case of ground bone 

 and dissolved rock phosphates. The schedules for these States for 

 1907 and 1908 are as follows: 



Trade Values Adopted by the New England States and New Jersey. 



Nitrogen:
